Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) introduced a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in “inherent contempt” of Congress, proposing a $10,000 daily fine for not releasing audio of President Biden’s interview about classified documents. The House voted to table and refer the resolution to the Rules Committee, both votes narrowly failing. Four Republicans sided with Democrats in opposition. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) expressed legal concerns but pledged support if brought to the floor. Luna argues Congress must assert its power, with former President Trump backing her push on social media.
